I had a great stay at this hostel. The entrance to the hostel seemed a bit dodge to start with but once inside it really is a beautiful hostel. The living area was great, the kitchen has everything you needed. Tea and coffee were complimentary all day and the breakfast in the morning was also included, the selection was small but enough, a few cereals, breads, cheeses, meats, fruits, spreads, biscuits etc. the rooms were clean as were the bathrooms. I stopped in the female only dorm which has it's own private bathroom. The staff were helpful. It's only a 10 minute walk from the old town and right next the the river. Less than a minute walk from multiple bus stops, making getting there from the airport super easy, just one bus ride away. I would happily stop there again. The only down side was the WiFi was a little bit temperamental, each room had it's own, I had to connect to most of the rooms WiFi just to get constant access. Also I had one night with no warm water for a shower but other than that great.

Não é mau, mas esperava melhor
Hostel razoável, mas muito diferente das fotografias. Quarto feminino com 3 beliches muito pequeno e só com uma casa de banho. A cozinha é ok, mas na fotografia parecia maior. Cama desconfortável.
O mais positivo: cacifo muuuiiitoo espaçoso!

Surprisingly it was better then I ever thought it would be. Clean, totally renovated, spacious, quiet and excellent value. Own bathroom and lounge. Breakfast included. Don't be fooled by the entrance as it has graffiti on the street door. Makes it easy to find. Highly recommended for all ages. Easy walk to the old city. Staff are very friendly and willing to please. R and B from Australia.

청결하고 조식도 만족하고 편하게 잘 지냈습니다. 다만 위치가 차고 쪽이라 잘 안 보여 처음에 찾기 어려웠고 밤에 들어갈 땐 소리가 크고 캄캄해 좀 무서웠습니다. 올드타운과는 좀 거리가 있습니다

Excelente estadia
Muito bom esse Hostel. Staff muito educado e atencioso. Internet muito boa e café da manhã excelente. Único ponto a desejar é a entrada do Hostel, pois só tinha um aviso bem pequeno indicando onde ele ficava. Mas isso é detalhe. Voltaria com certeza a me hospedar nele.

I had a very nice experience at Ginger Hostel! It's located in a good area, close to the center but not so close that it's loud. The staff is super friendly, the hostel is super clean and the breakfast and snacks are super yum. The mattresses aren't the most comfortable ever tho.
My one complain is that the hostel is allegedly +18 and on my last night we got a group of like 50 students who were clearly underage teenagers, they were super loud and messy, it made the rest of the guest feel uncomfortable because they kind of just took over

최고였음 ㅠㅠㅠ 다시 크라쿠프 방문한다면 또 여기서 묵을 것. 사람들 조용하고 방음 잘 되고 화장실도 무척 깔끔함. 무엇보다 조식이 최고. 밤마다 조식 먹고 싶어서 설레는 마음을 안고 잠들었음 ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ 이 가격에 시리얼 과일 빵 모두 다양하고 소세지나 햄까지 맛있었음. 음료 종류도 여러 가지. 다만 중앙역이랑 위치는 조금 있는 편. 올드타운이나 유대인 지구까지는 걸어서 20분 정도.

Spotless
Spotless and looks brand new! I've stayed in 4th floor 8 male dormitory.
I booked this hostel for a night coz the apartment that i've rented for a week was not available on my arrival date. I've planned to check in very late night (about midnight), so all I have to do is to go to sleep straight away.
However, upon entry to the premise, I was so gobsmacked how clean and comfortable Ginger Hostel is! OMG, the layout of the dormitory is well positioned to maintain good space. The bed bunk, and lockers are sturdy, and mattress is comfortable to sleep on. The overall lightings and interior designs are neatly finished and made it cozy to live in. The staffs are approachable. The buffet breakfast has passed my standard; it has great continental menu compared to other hostels. The toilets and showers are "VERY" clean and have a proper air fresheners. I must say that toilets and wash basins are properly installed and sturdy. Location wise; there's no visible signage of hostel's name outside the building, but there's a big number '10' at the gate, but i wont penalise this as a point down, coz you normally look for the 'ADDRESS' if you go to search for a place. Good thing is, it has a big grocery store infront of the building, and the location is so close to the centre.

Nie polecam !!!!
Hostel 1 godzinę przed moim przyjazdem odwołał mój pobyt. Obcokrajowiec dzwoniąc poinformował mnie o braku miejsca dla mnie , miejsce rezerwowalam 2 tygodnie przed przyjazdem w cenie promocyjnej . Nagle znalazl się błąd systemu a może raczej klient który zapłaci więcej . Błąd systemowy w hostelu a na mojego meila przychodziły meile abym nie zapomniała o wizycie. Kpinia . Nie polecam !!!!
